Description
This map is a modified replication of Bioware property. No copyright claims made.
Big credits to Abadir /Pato for providing such a finely traced linework for me to splodge color on! As well as figuring out the scale of the map! Awesome stuff! :3
For RP and GM reference, some travel speed estimates:
Assume travel on road with heavy combat and camping gear unless otherwise stated. A light traveler, moving with just a pouch of food and a bedroll could move much faster.
On foot:
Summer - 40km/day,
Winter - 30km/day,
Rough terrain or thick snow - 20km/day
2 Horse Drawn Carriage/Cart:
Summer - 70km/day
Winter - 40km/day
Rough terrain - 10-20km/day*
Horseback riding:
Summer - 80km/day
Winter - 60km/day
Rough Terrain - 15-30km/day*
*Horses and horse carts are worse than humans at extremely bad terrain, for example a wet swamp, or unreliable bouldery terrain.
For example:
On foot:
Denerim to Amaranthine would make for a ~2 day trip, with one night stay at a camp or tavern in the middle before reaching Amaranthine.
Denerim to Ostagar would be about a week of travel.
Note that these are only rough estimates of sustainable maximum speeds, and many different factors could alter actual travel time! :3

A note on the distance travel: these have been estimated comparing the canon Thedas map graphic scale with the known distances/travel times known from canon (mostly the two-weeks Orzammar/Denerim travel time from the novels). For reference - if you want to do quest abroad - it has been estimated that the graphic scale on the border of Thedas map is 50 miles, so the map was scaled accordingly, this time in kilometers (because International Unit System, deal with it 
OF COURSE being a graphic scale on extremely wague terms is not PRECISE, so there's room to consider travels a bit longer or shorter than estimated here if needed. Just don't realistically consider a Highever/Gwaren travel doable in a day.
Also: the map reports only the known major roads and cities (and the towns surrounding the tavern), but there are surely many secondary and local roads and small villages that have not been drawn here. Feel free to trace routes and make up villages for your quests, if you plan to return there often we can always add them to the map!

Great job!
Also I like the relocation of the new villages (and having Calenhad's Brook back!) : D

Ohhyesshh. Turns out most people didn't like the sudden position switch. X'P
Pato handled the relocation and related adjustments singlehandedly. :3

Awesome work, both of you. Although the Frostback Mountains look remarkably flat XD

Yeeahhhh... XD
I wasn't quite sure what to do there, maybe I'll add some little retouch later, maybe not...
I didn't want to get into actually PAINTING every terrain shape, because that'd turn it from a little coloring thingy into a full fledged big-size art project. x'p
Buuuuut. We'll see. XD

Wow you two did such a good job <3
And those distances/travel times......so useful for a person as geographically and directionally challenged as myself, Thank you!

I'm very glad you like it! :3
I hope the travel times and distances will help GMs stop treating Ferelden as the granny's little backyard plot. :'D
